Look Away.

By Emma House

TUNE—“Dixie Land.”
We’re traveling toward a country bright, Where all is peace, and love, and light, Look away, look away, look away to that bright land, We know the dangers that surround The footsteps of the homeward bound; Look away, look away, look away to that bright land.
Chorus.—We’ll all fight for the victory, And win, and win, And when we reach that happy spot, Our pilgrimage will be forgot, In the joys, in the joys, in the joys of God and heaven, In the joys, in the joys, in the joys of God and heaven.
The heavenly Shepherd guides his sheep, Along life’s narrow, toilsome steep, Look away, look away, look away to that bright land, He’ll bring them safe within the fold, And they shall walk the streets of gold, Look away, look away, look away to that bright land.
Chorus.—We’ll all fight, &c.
They’ll sing the song that angels sing Before the throne of God their King; Look away, look away, look away to that bright land, A crown of life will each one wear; O, shall we not this glory share? Look away, look away, look away to that bright land.
Chorus.—Yes, we’ll all fight, &c.
